The index started the session on a muted note at 22,536 and continued to slide toward its key support level of 22,300.
However, it managed to recover some losses in the afternoon session and closed at 22,470. Market breadth remained weak, with the advance-decline ratio settling around 1:2. Among sectoral indices, IT, realty and metals closed in negative territory, while banks, auto, and pharma gained the most.
From a technical standpoint, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) remains in the bearish zone, with its slope turning sideways, and is currently positioned around 40.
